Homework Statement
Show z(x,y) = cos(xy) is a solution of
(∂z/∂x)y + (∂z/dy)x = (x+y) ( (∂2z/∂x∂y) + xyz)
(question also attached if it makes it clearer)
The Attempt at a Solution
∂z= (∂z/∂x)ydx + (∂z/dy)xdy
∂z/∂x = -ysin(xy)
∂z/∂y = -xsin(xy)
what does it mean show it is a solution? any tips appreciated
